1939 1/2 ton differences?

Ive been trying for years to aquire my great grandfathers 1939 ford 1/2 ton pickup to restore before his son, my grandfather of 81 passes.

However In googling i have discovered two 1939 ford 1/2 ton pkups!

What is the primary difference between a 91C 1/2 ton, and a 922C half ton?

Any good imput would be helpful as if I get it Ill need to know, Thanks.

I think the difference is just the engine, the 922 (according to Mac Van Pelts site) came with the V8 60hp and the 91 came with the V8 85 HP.

Macs site shows the s/n as 91A and 922A, which I think is just the difference between the American and Canadien models.

PS

So do I. Title is kinda the issue. No one knows where the key or title is. The house got burned with the grainery they had the truck in four years ago. The vehicle was left to my great aunt in his estate in 2000 when my great-grandfather died. She passed in 07. Her husband would have recived her estate.
The truck has not been in use since the early 60s and for the last 10 years it was a "yard" truck.
I havent seen it since I was 14, and I'm 26 now. The glass and drivetrain was still there but the interior was gone to the mice. Still had rubber on it as my great-grandpa parked it in a disused grainery before he left the farm in 64. Want to fix it up to servicable condition then let my kid restore it in his teens. Hope it all goes well. Also hope its an 85 horse as the 60 horse is an odball.
